A recently discovered example with a good hand-forged and likely ancestral blade. While in a field service shin-gunto scabbard with associated simple wartime replacement iron tsuba, the civilian tsuka incorporates high quality dragon-form gilt menuki and simple non-regulation kashira. The blade tang is un-signed and towards its terminal is wrapped in silver-plate. A distinctive hamon is apparent, indicative of a quality blade. An interesting example of a family sword carried in the field during WWII.

A form of traveling / campaign candlesticks dating back to the 18th century. Examples can be found in turned wood, base and precious metal. This fine early 20th Century set by Howard & Co is in planished silver and of a type carried by the more affluent officer in the trenches.
